Trust is the most precious commodity of all. In the cutthroat world of Sweden´s financial elite, no one knows that better than corporate raider David Hammar. Ruthless, Notorious, Unstoppable. He´s out to hijack the ultimate prize, Investum. After years of planning, all the players are in place; he needs just one member of the aristocratic owning family on his side – Natalia De la Grip.
Elegant, brilliant, driven to succeed in a man´s world, Natalia is curious about David´s unexpected invitation to lunch. Everyone knows that he is rich, dangerous, unethical; she soon discovers he is also deeply scarred. The attraction between these two is impossible, but the long Swedish nights unfold an affair that will bring to light shocking secrets, forever alter a family, and force both Natalia and David to confront their innermost fears and desires.

And after I´ve read some pages, I understood completely, why it was the most stolen item on the book fair 2015 here in Germany. Yep, you´ve read that right. Fame with two sides – so to speak. Big emotions, a magnificent plot and characters so phenomenal and convincing - that is All In.

News - Great Joy!

This Saturday morning turned out to be one of the most pleasurable ones that I had in months. I went into town to get a few things done, walked into our local book store and what do I find?

I am sneaking around Bay of Sighs for quite some time now. Not that I was thinking about whether to read it or not – that´s out of the question. No, my consideration was about the cover.

Waiting On Wednesday #2 – A Court Of Mist And Fury by Sarah J. Maas


is a weekly event hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine. This meme is a place that spotlights upcoming releases that we´re eagerly anticipating with pure joy.

I haven´t read the first book in this series yet, but this is no reason for me not to look forward to A Court of Mist and Fury. Book one stands already in one of my shelves here at home. And a few days ago I started listening to the audiobook of A Court of Thorns and Roses, and even though I am not very far yet, I already like what I hear.

But I´ll have to read the physical book, too. I don´t know why that is, or if I am the only one who experiences that, but I discovered, that I have to actually read a book – not only listening to a narrator´s voice – to get the full picture. Maybe it´s because I can´t do anything else during listening to audio. No vacuuming, no dishes, no painting, no drawing - ´cause after a little while, I am so occupied in what I am doing, that I stop listening. And, as if that wouldn´t be enough, I don´t know where I stopped paying attention to the audio, so I have to rewind till I hear something familiar. And that is, to say the least, quite annoying.

I only experienced it otherwise when I am running through the woods. There I can listen without my mind drifting away. But I can´t do that all the time 24 hours a day only to finish a book, can I ?!





A Court Of Mist And Fury

Feyre survived Amarantha´s clutches to return to the Spring Court – but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can´t forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin´s people. Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion and dazzling power, a greater evil looms – and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future – and the future of a world cleaved in two.


And what are you waiting for? Let me know your thoughts about this one or leave me the link to your WoW and I check it out.


Happy reading & waiting on

Time Out by Andreas Eschbach

I have to be honest here I never read any Andreas Eschbach title before. Yep, that´s right. He is one of Germany´s high-class Sci-Fi writers and I didn´t know him at all. I came to this series because I was kind of bored and went to my local library and there it was that I saw the first book of this series Black Out.

It is the biggest network that ever existed. A mere thought is enough to reach thousands. Everyone has it. Everyone is inside. Only you do not. That means: You are alone. Very alone.
“We call him the Lifehook.” Christopher can´t believe it, when he hears for the first time of the gigantic advertising campaign, the famous FriendWeb-founder John Salzman has started. A chip people can communicate mentally with almost no effort? Behind this is certainly the coherence. As more and more young people pick up the Lifehook and soon for those, who do not possess it, social exclusion begins, Christopher recognizes that he can no longer hide passively in Hide-Out. But when he has the crucial idea, where the weak point of the global network could be, he and Serenity have to make the perhaps most momentous decision of their life …

Thoughts

This is a series I´ve read within no time. After the haunting story of the first two books, I simply had to know how everything would turn out.
